Markdown Extension for hgweb

Similar to GitHub, this module looks for a file named ReadMe.md or
ReadMe.markdown (case insensitive).

A custom theme is provided that displays the formatted contents on the summary (index) view.

In addition to showing formatted information on the summary view, this module replaces
the default file view for .md or .markdown files, enabling you to use the
WikiLinks extension
to support documentation split across several pages.

You can add relative links to nested pages, or to current headers,
or even to images
(actually at BitBucket relative links are
broken
and you don't see logo, but hgext.markdown can do it :)

Security

This extension enables users with commit/push access to hgweb to create arbitrary html content that may be browsed by other users.
At this time no attempt has been made to detect or prevent attacks such as cross-site scripting (xss) and other types of attacks.
In general this extension should only be used if you trust all users with push access.
